Default "DUCK" - literaly I mean

I will cook my duck before I try to eat it :shocked: I found this story on an ESPN webpage.


Flying duck kills Florida boater in speed trial

Reuters — Nov. 19, 2001

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla.— A Florida man died after a duck hit him in the head, knocking him off a personal watercraft and into a lake, sheriff's officials said Monday, Nov. 19.

Leon Resnick, 31, was driving the watercraft at a lake in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Deerfield Beach Thursday, while a friend watched from shore, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.

The friend turned to get a radar gun to check the vessel's speed, then noticed Resnick was missing from the craft. He found him several minutes later in the water, pulled him ashore and attempted to revive him, the sheriff's office said.

"Investigators from the BSO Marine Unit believe the victim was knocked from the personal watercraft by a duck, which struck Resnick in the face as he sped the watercraft along the lake," the news release said.

Resnick was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The medical examiner listed the cause of death as blunt trauma to the head and drowning.

The duck's carcass was recovered and turned over to investigators.

Both men worked at a company that sold personalized watercraft. Resnick was traveling about 55 mph when the accident occurred, the sheriff's office said.
